Has anyone used a handheld blender to mix shakes?

I am wanting to mix things like protein power, milk, peanut butter, yogurt...etc. Would this be a good item for that?

ahhh the old slender blender, they don't mix powder that well, the protein powder floats to the top of the milk and then flies everywhere when you start to blend, also i used to put chunky pb into my shakes and most of the time the peanuts didnt even blend properly. they are good to blend stuff like chickpeas and spinach and tomotoes tho

I used the free bb.com one, but it kinda sucked....it was a cool novelty for a little while though...
